internet - Five years of jail for an innocent email

Police during April demo's

Andrea Leung revisits at T-Salon the case of Tang Ye, who got jailed after the anti-Japanese protests in Shanghai, last April, for sending out a humoristic email ahead of the demonstration. Tang had made the email only for his co-workers, and one of them did sent the email out, including all of Tang's details. A new letter for moral support is now going around. Very disturbing to see how little can bring you into jail for such a long time.
